    Residential refrigerator off with inverter

    Dry camped last night and a 5 hour drive today. Got to our Harvest Hosts location and appears fridge wasn't on for most of the trip and wouldn't start with inverter. Had to kick the generator on to cool it off. Three different voltages showing on the victron BT, one control panel and solar BT. Fridge kicks on with genny but not inverter. Running genny now to get the temps down. First time in 14 days.

    Maybe your battery disconnect got disconnected? Or maybe your battery got drained?

    Turned out that the inverter has it's own GFCI outlet that feeds everything else and yes, it popped. The LED out on the main GFCI outlet in the bathroom gave me the clue that nothing was working. Phewwwww

    Yep - had that happen once when the trailer was new. Hasn't happened since. I check the fridge for power after disconnecting from shore power before hitting the road.

    I picked up the new RV yesterday and had the problem today. I just posted about it in the Tech Help forum. I'll try to delete the post and go check the GFCI.

    Where is the GFCI for this? I checked the one in the bathroom and it seems fine.

    There is another GFCI on the inverter.

    In my situation, most things in the house works when inverting, as far as I can tell, it is just the refrigerator that is not working while inverting.
